Julia has participated in and managed a number of challenging long-range transportation plans, environmental studies (EA and EIS), campus master plans, highway corridor plans, and interchange refinement plans. As part of this work, she assisted a number of jurisdictions in the updating of their development codes, policies, and ordinances to comply with statewide planning multimodal goals and requirements. The cornerstone to the successful implementation of these plans has been her ability to balance transportation capacity and safety with the importance of business accessibility and neighborhood livability. Julia recognizes that the key component to developing a community-supported, successful project is the early and consistent participation of neighboring communities and businesses, and the ability to communicate engineering data and technical information to these affected parties in a clear and comprehensible manner.
